Could you build this?
Partial The annotation UI and drawing tools are straightforward, but a persistent system-level Windows utility requires low-level Win32/DirectX APIs for non-intrusive transparent overlays, global input hooks, and multi-monitor hardware acceleration.
What it would actually take: A robust version requires C++ or C# (.NET/WPF or WinUI 3) leveraging low-level Windows APIs such as SetWindowsHookEx for global mouse tracking and layered, transparent, click-through Direct2D/DirectX windows. Handling screen scaling (DPI awareness), full-screen app exclusions, and anti-cheat compatibility without CPU lag demands deep Windows desktop system programming expertise.
